I wanted to provide an update on our efforts to improve diversity and inclusion for everyone on campus. Following the LGBTQ+ community forum on October 18, a group of stakeholders representing LGBTQ+ students, diversity community organizations and CSU administration met to discuss next steps.

The group recommended the University begins by opening a dialogue with community and university leadership to help inform us of the critical issues around discrimination, harassment and the legal parameters of expressive activity. This initial working group session will be held tomorrow and be videotaped and available for viewing on the Division of Engagement website following the event.

Following the session tomorrow we will create an action plan that will include further dialogue and input sessions that will be announced at a later date.
